The way I see it, when others do it its okay, but when we do it its totally lame, likewise ourselves.
I remember Bloody from 3dg|rr playing for 3dg|o_0 against us in the first leg this season, and none of us complaining for that because we knew 3dg|o_0 only applied the rules. None of us cared if they could have played without him. I also think (probably Im wrong, and no screenshot now to check) that someone from rr (a keeper maybe) played for 3dg|bp in the first leg against us too.
Out of the 5 matches when MorningStar played for us (and there wont be more, coz Im aware of what the rule says), we could have played without him only on the last 2 games.
On the first 3 games (including both the 3dg|o_0 and the 3dg|bp matches) we lacked our sweeper (Colmonkey, who is the only sweeper in our team) so our defense was weaker then ever dispite having Star up front who is an extraordinary attacker. (therefore I honestly think sf scored and got more goals on these matches then we usually do)
That leaves us with 2 games, where we could in fact have played without any assist from AoV (Colmonkey was back), and feel free to call us lamers, whores or wathever U like because of that, though we still didnt break any rules.
On these 2 last games a 5th sF member (Chamber) was infact online (thats why Im saying we could have possibly played with a full sf squad), but the last time he played for us in a war was in june. He didnt play any DB for months after that and started to play some games on pickups again only recently. Therefore he specifically asked me not to play, though if we wouldnt had any other options left, I probably could have convinced him to do so.
Is he still an sf member? - Yes, because we dont dismiss any of our long-time friends based on his level of play.
And just 1 more thing: we had many difficulties this season, coz most of our members just dont play much Db any more (work, family,etc.). We used to play many fw -s earlier, but in the last 4 months we hardly played any, simply because we usually dont have enough players
Dispite that (basically no practice at all), I always tried to get enough players together for at least the league matches, but sometimes just couldnt.
If we gonna get one of the promotion spots, and ppl think it would be because MorningStar played for us on these games, then feel free to give it to another team (FCU - a clan I truly respect would certainly deserve that, because they have worked so hard), especially since Im not entirely sure if we would be still around to play another season.
